TESTING THE FAITH City will prosecute Christian protesters

A federal appeals court denied an emergency appeal to stop prosecution of 11 Philadelphia-area Christians who allege the District Attorney's office retaliated against them for exercising their constitutional rights at a homosexual event in which they were arrested and later charged with felonies...the group was "preaching God's Word" to a crowd of people attending the outdoor Philadelphia "OutFest" event and displaying banners with biblical messages....the eleven Christians were arrested and spent a night in jail.(they were charged with)3 felonies and 5 misdemeanors. The charges were criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime (NOTE:Bibles), reckless endangerment of another person, ethnic intimidation, riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and obstructing highways. (...a video) show(ed) the Philadelphia 11 cooperated with police and were continually harassed by the Pink Angels.None of the Pink Angels was cited or arrested. The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania's "hate crimes" law – to which the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" was recently added. (is there ANYBODY who didn't see this coming????) The protesters say a Philadelphia police officer told them that because they were on a public sidewalk they were permitted to move freely through the event. A few minutes later, however, they were arrested and removed. The Philadelphia 11 face a maximum penalty of 47 years each in jail.....(read more)

AGAIN I urge you to read the homo manifesto: http://rainbowallianceopenfaith.homestead.com/GayAgendaSwiftText.html

Michael Swift's dream is coming true right now, right here.

[Victoria Delsoul]

This is just unbelievable, but I'm not surprised. The intolerance of those crying out for tolerance is a hate crime in itself.

[thompsonsjkc]

I'm confident that any convictions will be overturned. The problem is they have to endure until that happens.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

If I were a lawyer, I would have those convictions overturned on the bases that those Christians constitutional rights were violated.

[dzzrtrock]

Did you read the entire site or are you deliberately misrepresenting what is at that link?

In what way am I "misrepresenting"? IS that NOT the link to Michael Swift's homo manifesto?

Are not the ideas expressed therein consistent with what we're seeing here?All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked.(DONE!) Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.....(DONE!) ....If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.....(DONE, NOT LITERALLY BUT FIGURATIVELY AS IN THIS CASE) Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles (DONE: DOES THE NAME "QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY" RING A BELL?AND THE FEMALE VERSION OF SAME)....We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing(IN PROCESS. READ:"HOMOPHOBIC", "BREEDER", "FEAR OF"{THEM}"STUPIDLY HETEROSEXUAL{below), "QUEER EYE" ETC......Those who oppose us will be exiled.(DONE: OR JAILED, AS THE CASE MAY BE, FOR "HATE CRIMES")) ....All churches who condemn us will be closed.(NOW ONGOING. CASE ON POINT. GOD'S WORD IS NOW "HATE SPEECH". HOW LONG WILL CHURCHES LAST IF SPEAKING GOD'S WORD IS A FELONY? AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PUBLIC PRAYER, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC, CHRISTMAS...) Our only gods are handsome young men....All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.(COMING SOON!! TO THE CITY OF "BROTHERLY LOVE")

IS there any part of that which I have misrepresented?

Is there any part of that which HAS NOT become part of our daily lives? Michael Swift and the homos try and dismiss this as a "satire" because if the heteros knew for a moment that this IS THE manifesto and it is playing out just and he predicted, there'd be hell to pay.

[dzzrtrock]

...test..

[dzzrtrock]

(TigerTale Writes).....Nowhere in the article to which you linked does it say that Bibles were the "instruments of crime" this group was charged with possessing. Do you have other substantiation for such an assertion?

The article states "The charges were criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime..."

If you watched the Video you can see that these terrorists have a guitar, a bullhorn, a folded posterboard and the DREADED Bible. The bullhorn is not being used, the posterboard is folded up, the guitar is not being played. It kinda makes for a short list what the REAL "WMD" ("Words of Mass Deliverance") is, doesn't it? Without that, these people would not have been here. Without that the homos would have had no complaint and there'd have been no "hate speech". I find it amusing that they claim we FEAR them butt WHO is squealing like stuck pigs??? It isn't the Christians who are terrified. It is the self-deluded homos who try & build their courage up by tittering to each other that we're afraid of them.

Here is their whole beef, in a nutshell:

Matthew 8:28........ And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Matthew 8:29........ And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

THEY live their lives in terror of us as their master is subservient to ours. On a spiritual level, as with the two at Gergesenes, they know they can't stand against Him in a fair fight so they hide behind each others skirts and scream about "hate crimes". Watch the video and tell me WHO is trying to intimidate WHOM. Although their master is supported by the jack-booted thugs of the PC world (all in the name of "tolerance" of course) & might win some battles, they are still the losers

[purpleland]

It's counter-productive for those PA Christians to invade or display their protest at an homosexual event. The hostile outcome was inevitable and the net results of arrests of and charges against the Christian protestors, the ensuing publicity, merely show *proof* of "Christian intolerance" toward homosexuals. There are more effective forms of activism. For instance, broadly and widely airing to the world Michael Swift's tirade - his psycho-homo manifesto.

Swift's sick-manifesto is entered in the Congressional Records, btw.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

In what way am I "misrepresenting"? IS that NOT the link to Michael Swift's homo manifesto?

Yes, it is. But you did not call it "Michael Swift's homo manifesto". You called it "the homo manifesto". Do you think that the rantings of Michael Swift represent the views of ALL homosexuals?

If so, do you also think that your rantings represent the views of all on Free Republic?
Take a step back and look at your reply #144. Wipe the spittle from your chin and take it down a notch. You rave sir.

Is there any part of that which HAS NOT become part of our daily lives?

Speaking only for myself and my community...yes. None of it.

[marty60]

If this is the case, then the fact that the "little" guys aren't being represented is the problem. But it will not change unless the "little" people get motivated and demand honest, accountable representation. All problems fall back to the electorate. We get what we elect. And good people should be going after the Republican party power jobs in OK.

[steveegg]

I wonder how the Leftist Loonies justify their support for Islam beacuse if anything, Islam is even more strictly (not to mention violently) against homosexuality than either Christianity or Judiaism.

[steveegg]

Welcome to Germany, 1934.

We're far closer to 1938 than that.

City will prosecute Christian protesters: Federal judge denies emergency appeal by 'Philadelphia 11'

A federal appeals court denied an emergency appeal to stop prosecution of 11 Philadelphia-area Christians who allege the District Attorney's office retaliated against them for exercising their constitutional rights at a homosexual event in which they were arrested and later charged with felonies.

As WorldNetDaily reported, on Oct. 10, the group was "preaching God's Word" to a crowd of people attending the outdoor Philadelphia "OutFest" event and displaying banners with biblical messages.

After a confrontation with a group called the Pink Angels, described by protesters as "a militant mob of homosexuals," the eleven Christians were arrested and spent a night in jail.

Eight charges were filed, including three felonies and five misdemeanors. The charges were criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime, reckless endangerment of another person, ethnic intimidation, riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and obstructing highways.

A video of the arrest, provided by the American Family Association's Center for Law & Policy can be seen here [Windows Media].

Early last week, the AFA filed papers in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking a temporary restraining order that would prevent the city of Philadelphia from prosecuting the case.

Judge Petrese Tucker denied the Philadelphia 11's request, and the CLP immediately appealed the decision to the Third Circuit, which upheld it.

"This turn of events is beyond belief," said Brian Fahling, senior trial attorney for the CLP.

At the hearing, the CLP presented what it called "undisputed" video evidence that captured the "Outfest" events on tape, showing the Philadelphia 11 cooperated with police and were continually harassed by the Pink Angels.

None of the Pink Angels was cited or arrested.

"Despite the undisputed evidence placed before the court, our action for emergency relief was denied not once, but twice," Fahling added. "Many had thought an outcome like this ended at Selma.

"It seems that the Philadelphia 11 have become second-class citizens in the City of Brotherly Love," he said.

A preliminary hearing takes place today at 9 a.m. in Philadelphia.

The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania's "hate crimes" law – to which the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" was recently added. The protesters say a Philadelphia police officer told them that because they were on a public sidewalk they were permitted to move freely through the event. A few minutes later, however, they were arrested and removed.

The Philadelphia 11 face a maximum penalty of 47 years each in jail.

New ping to self.

[richmwill]

From what I've read on this elsewhere, this did not take place in Philadelphia, PA- it actually happened in Philadelphia, Mississippi.

[gidget7]

Homosexuality is now an ethnicity?


In Philly and in MA yes, as well as many other cities. THIS is why they are pushing for gay marriage, so it is classified as normal, and more of this can happen. You would be shocked at what the media does not report!

[gidget7]

No one voted for it, cities put these laws in place as "ordinances". The same thing is happening all over. In Northampton MA they passed an ordinance that cross dressers may use any bathroom in which they feel more comfortable. This is just the beginning. We need to get the the resolution the President has proposed passed. Restore the Constitution!

[gidget7]

Exactly, and it's also why ANYONE running for office, who is homosexual, should be defeated. Anyone in office who is, should be voted out. They are there for a purpose, and it isn't to vote their constituents wishes

[gidget7]

Go back to the post of Zell Millers speech before Congress. There is a list of resolutions he is for, and on it is a resolution to restore the constitution. That one is the one we need to lobby for. Restoration of the 1st Amendment I believe is included.
